it's a disney

After watching it several times on and off, it is an animated film that Disney returns to the 2D tradition. In the media, it is unanimous that the heroine chose a black person subversively, and Disney finally has a princess other than a white princess, but I think the previous "Aladdin", "Pocahontas" and "Interstellar" in recent years (... this... is underage) and in "Mulan", the female protagonists are not limited to white people. Of course, they are not all princesses. This has something to do with Disney's general preference for European fairy tales, and more importantly, the mainstream concept. In this subversion, in addition to the heroine, the fairy tale background is set in New Orleans, the land of jazz, and the prince is also set as a black man (seemingly an Indian prince), and compared with the old routine of the prince saving the princess, let the "princess" prince The idea of ​​turning into a frog together and embarking on a journey to find a way to break the magic is still fun. There are many musical elements, inheriting the usual relaxed elements of Disney, but there are some twists and turns, but the sincerity will win the traveling companion and finally defeat the evil. However, I want to complain about the villain, the BOSS does not show much while reminiscent of Jia Fang (the snake-faced male BOSS in "Aladdin"), sigh. . . I tend to think it's a musical. Pretty standard Disney.

    Fairy tales always make people feel relaxed and happy. The pictures are very gorgeous. The protagonists have been replaced with dark skin. The little frogs who keep pace with the times are very cute, and they like positive and inspiring heroines.
